Positano

Fondest memory: Square, white and pink Moorish-style houses set in luxurious gardens, descending in steep steps down the mountain side to the bay and dominated by the splendid dome covered in polychrome majolica of the church of S. Maria Assunta. Off-shore are the Galli Islands, legendary home of sirens who lured sailors to their doom.

positano - amalfi coast

Favorite thing: The winding street we walk down - via Pasitea - is the backbone of the town and will lead us to the little Flavio Gioia square.

positano - amalfi coast

Favorite thing: The buildings are so incrusted in the rocks that you can hardly distinguish them from the distance.
Positano looks, this way, like a jewel shining under the sunlight.

Ruth on Via dei Mulini

Favorite thing: Positano has some beautiful streets, none more so than Via dei Mulini, which, although full of tourist shops at one end, is very quiet at its northern end.

Positano

Favorite thing: The best views of Positano are from the sea. At a short distance from the shore you can clearly make out the town's distinctive look. From here the houses almost appear to be part of the cliffs.
